    HF3 ENCORE: My Failed Fitness Influencer Era...aka How to NOT Run Your Online Business

    This is a special encore of one of the most popular episodes on the podcast.   If you've heard it before, you'll still want to listen in because these can help save you so much time (and burnout too!) The original episode 61.. If you’ve been pouring your time into content—but customers still aren’t coming in—this is your moment to shift. I’m sharing here the difference between performing for visibility and positioning for results. Learn from one of the biggest mistakes I made in 12 years of entrepreneurship:   My “influencer era.” The one where I got 68,000 views and zero clients. The one that almost made me quit entrepreneurship. We’re talking all about how more content can actually hold you back—and why showing up doesn’t mean you’re standing out.   So if you’ve ever felt like you're doing everything right—posting daily, jumping on trends, filming the Reels, writing the captions—but still not standing out (or selling), this episode will light up the part of you that’s tired of shouting and ready to get RESULTS!  Here’s what changed everything: Influencer Mistakes to Avoid: The real reason constant content creation keeps coaches stuck and spinning. Performer vs Positioned: A gut-check to see if you’re creating for applause or actual results. Content That Converts: What the most successful coaches actually do instead—and how you can build assets, not just attention.  Stop the algorithm-chasing, end YOUR influencer era and begin to become the leader your community needs!    Listen for inspiration and answers!
